Mia and I spent the day shopping with my mother-in-law. We traveled to several stores and malls to provide Mia with a wealth of Pre-K clothes and shoes. We forced the poor child to try on numerous pants, dresses, and shirts so that we, as fashionistas ourselves, could judge her new school look. The trip was ultimately successful. We returned home this afternoon with numerous bags of clothing and shoes, one tired and constipated child, and a healthy dose of retail therapy. I would certainly go so far as to say that Mia and her “Ma” did their part to boost the economy today. And, what did I do on this girlie day? I resisted the urge to fart in my mother-in-law’s car and graciously waited until she dropped us off this afternoon. I’d say that’s being about as ladylike as I get!

Happy Saturday…I’m off to bed early.
